Has anyone had their offshore account "hacked"?

SayHeyKid · May 27, 2010

I've been thinking about this subject lately, especially since when you call in for assistance or go in "live support chats" you are often times required to give your user id and password to the assistants. I've always worried about a possible disgruntled employee writing these accounts down and sign in on them and place very large wagers on your account. Although offshore accounts have no real value to individuals they aren't assigned to, it is possible for people to place very large bets just to fuck with you.

So my question is, has anyone here ever had something like this happen to you, or have you heard of horror stories such as this?

There has been many a story of accounts being hacked, but I have never heard of one that was ever found true.

I am sure they can trace IP addresses to protect the customer but if the hacker is smart enough they could get around that issue too.

Mine wasn't hacked but I had the password saved on my work computer.

Came home one night and my account was down about $200.

Called up my book and they said someone was logged on where I work, they gave me the ip address. I was like son of a bitch.

Damn cleaning guy was in the casino draining my account.

Luckily my book is awesome and refunded me some.

Wow,Did he realize that is was real money or did he just think he was playing a computer game?
Or did you just make the whole thing up and are writing it here because you think the Book that you got over on might be reading and this will help to solidify your story more,LOL

Couple of years ago I showed a guy new features Bet Cris had online, while at his place on his computer. Got to doing other things, left and never signed out. At home later that day I opened my account and it showed history for that day even though I knew I hadn´t made any bets. Thing was, it showed I won that day, not a lot but $40 or so.

Turns out he was playing around in their new virtual horse racing and hit a few. Then signed out. He didn´t think the bets were actual money played for some reason!
